Two more children died by water borne diseases

Umerkot: Atleast two people died at Civil Hospital on Thursday pushing the death toll of people who died of water borne disease to 27 within a month, Aaj News reported.

Innocent children and people of Tharparkar paying the price of the carelessness by government authorities of Sindh. Malnutrition, lack of healthcare facilities and scarcity of water are some factors pushing the death toll higher.

Sindh Food Minister Nasir Shah on Sunday categorically announced that there is no famine-like situation in any part of Tharparkar, saying that incidents of children’s death took place there either because of lack of awareness among mothers about neonatal care or delayed arrival of ailing children at medical facilities.
